News

This is the website for the old Mathematics 1 course. If you are a new student from September 2023, you will find your Mathematics 1 course information by clicking here math1a.compute.dtu.dk

01006 is the English version of the equivalent Danish course 01005 and is a mandatory two-semester course for all bachelor-level engineering students at DTU. This homepage contains information about the course contents and structure and will be updated frequently.

Digitally-based education

In 01006 Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1 we are putting effort into using the possibilities that information technology (IT) and the world of digital tools provide. We still do believe that presence, lectures and group work are decisive elements in the learning of mathematics, but we also know that students wish to find a way of studying that suits each student the best.

We therefore wish to support your studies with a variety of web-based learning objects and activities. Traditional learning materials such as textbooks and printed weekly agendas are replaced by digital eNotes (you can still purchase a printed book-version of the syllabus in the bookstore, Polyteknisk Boghandel, though) and electronic exercises that use link technology, which points towards a non-linear learning style. We will be utilising a quizzing and testing system called Möbius (sometimes obsoletely referred to as MapleTA) that dynamically can provide a rich and unique quiz experience. Also, all lectures will be live-streamed and recorded for later access.

To make the course even better we need your reactions and opinions. We will frequently evaluate the course. Please give your contribution to amending our mathematics course in order for mathematics to be an even more important element in your investigation (and that of your fellow students) of your engineering subject and your world.

About the Mathematics Software Maple

The professional mathematical software Maple produced by MapleSoft is an important part of our teaching of Advanced Engineering Mathematics 1. We will begin using the software about four weeks in and an introduction as well as demos will be made available for you to get comfortable with it quickly.

About the use of software and IT in mathematics in general: Mathematics must be built from the bottom-up and it is crucial that you have studied and have manual insight into the methods and manipulations that lead to the desired results. But it is likewise important that you get a feeling for what mathematics can be used for in the real world, where complicated models and huge computations apply.

Maple supports both! Maple is a universe of possibilities for studying mathematics, both concerning the understanding of fundamental concepts as well as when the task is to investigate real world problems through visualisations, analytic models and numerical computations. Maple is an advanced computation and plotting tool at your free disposal with the DTU license.

Therefore, it is important that you are always aware of how you can utilise the possibilities that Maple offers. What is the learning objective for your current activity? And which Maple-commands and styles let you reach this goal most effectively? Just always remember that Maple like any other such software is not smarter, just faster. Make sure that you always fully understand each step that takes place when you use Maple to perform tasks for you.
